Tonils and Skinny Jeans

O Where O Where has the time gone? Has it really been 2 months since my last post.

Lots has been going on in our crazy house the past two months. Most recently Sammy had surgery to remove his tonsils, adenoids, and remove and replace his ear tubes. It has been a long long long road, and we are starting to see a sliver of light at the end of our tunnel. Next up......bring on the antibodies.......

Now next week is the dreaded ISAT test at school. This year is Jake's first year taking the test, and he is not excited about it to say the very least. He thinks just because he is going to be a rock star when he grows up writing a five paragraph essay isn't really important. So today while Sammy was napping I decided to make a little treat for his class to give them a lil encouragement. They were little pants filled with candies... yeah yeah I thought they were cute.

When I showed him upon his arrival from school his response was.....

"are those skinny jeans? "

Did I mention he wants to be a Rock Star??

JUST IN CASE YOU WERE CURIOUS

Football update

Well they won!

Ben's football team won the championship. We are so very proud of those boys. It isn't all about winning, but the fact that they learned to play as a team and work together. The final game, I must admitt was very exciting. The entire Klee clan was decked out in our Red Spirit wear. Complete with face paint and Mom carrying an airhorn!

Halloween

Darn my neighbors for giving out such good candy! I have been cramming those delicious nuggets down my throat like a squirrel hoarding for winter. I have absolutely no self control!

The kids had a great time, Ben was a finalist in the costume contest at his school dance . Jacob and Whitney had fun at their Fall Festival. And Sammy....well Sammy didn't quite get the trick or treat concept. He would give the ....er... treator... his already half eaten candy that he had gotten at the previous house for the new candy they were giving out. Maybe next year!

Bleh!

I am tired. Worn Out. Exhausted....and the weather isn't helping! All I want is to curl up in bed watch a silly movie and eat FATTENING Chocolate Chip Cookies. I don't want to worry about what time it is, or where I have to be. Rest.....oh that would be nice!

Big Boy Bed

O how they get big.

In the past several days we have had um...."sleeping issues".

Bedtime has never really been an issue for Sammy. He gets his softie, his cup of milk, lots of love and goes to sleep. Unfortunately several weeks ago he started taking off his braces (they help his club foot) and climbing out of his bed. We would put him back and he would cry until he puked (which P.S. isn't fun for anybody!) So after several trial and errors we broke down and got him a toddler bed today (a twin was too big with his limited mobility due to the braces). Tonight was the night, I sweetened the deal with new Cars PJ's and a Lightening McQueen Sippy Cup.... well..... HE DID GREAT!!!!He really did, we had a little crying, but that was just because his sippy cup was clogged! He curled up and went to sleep. Jeff and I were both suprised, but I guess he was just ready to move out of the crib. He is almost two, -but I would have let him stay in that thing till JR. High if he wanted- Since he is sleeping so soundly I am scurring off for some zzz's and wanted to share my little story. So here he is in his new bed.
